Does an earthquake-zone level used to assess how likely an Ares is to have damaging earthquakes in the future?
earthquake zone level
Is there set times when an earthquake occurs?

These regions along a fault zone are considered likely sites of future earthquakes?
a chain of volcanoes parallel to a continental coast.

it is called the gap hypothesis
Why are map showing locations of past earthquakes useful to scientists?
Earthquakes happen when the Earth's crust shifts violently. So if we know that an earthquake has happened in California, then scientist know that the crust under California is unstable, therefore making earthquakes more likely to happen there. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, but the tend to happen repeatedly in certain spots

Are there places in the US where earthquakes will probably not occur in the near future?
Middle America most likely, like Missouri and Kansas, although we are famous for our tornadoes.Places in the south (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, etc.) pretty much never have them (Trust me--I would know), and in the one in a million chance they do, you could barely feel it.
Did scientists know the earthquake in japan was going to happen?
Probably not, but they did know that japan is on the ring of fire (the border between two plates) so earthquakes are more likely to happen.
